use throughout the Worldit has been dein-` onstrated that their capacity very limited,`

1o thus the capacity in phrases of the Liebers code (standard and the 5 letters) is 75,878, oi the A. B. C. code `(electric and telegraphic code is 25,400, ol the A. B. C. code International telegraphic code $99,999, oit' Bentleys L.) complete telegraphic code y is 31,4162, of llVestern Union telegraphic code is 157,352, and, of Vilestern Union telegraphic code (mammoth Volume) is 362,400.

It is the object oi" the present invention to provide `a code` of indefinite capacity` in phrases and which may be used in a practical manner to great advantage and tar more economically than those noW cominonly in use.`k

. In the drawings :H

Figure l is a diagrammatical View showing the possibilities ott the code` and Figure 2 represents a page from. a code :l0 book embodyingthe` present invention.

The twentytive letters of the aphabet are used as a basis oi my code. The twenty five letters ot the alphabet co 1respond in my code to the numbers 0 to! 24C of the first the twenty tive lett-ers form the lirst group oli' signs, .twenty five (25) innumber, with only one letter' each. y y By combining each lettero't the Vfirst or 10 singleletter group with all the letters of the same group, I obtain the second group ot two letters each. l/Vith the `first and y second group I obtain252 25 or 650 sy1nbols.

(5th edition impro-ved) is 103,084, ot the` column as represented in the drawing. Thus By combining each symbol of the second group with the twenty five letters ot' the alphabet I obtain a third group of their letters each and bring the total toy 253 650 or 16,275. Continuing this process by adding one ofthe letters oi' the alphabet to 50 the third group ofthese letters each I obtain a fourth' groupof four letters eaoh and bring the capacity to 254 16,275 or 406,900 symbols which is greater than the fapaeity ot the Western Union telegraphic code4 (mammoth Volume) It this proce were continued to the tenth y group of ten letters each its capacity would be 251" 250 25S- 25 or 99,341,074,625,650,

which, ot course would never be necessary. Referring to Figure 2 it Will be noted that the columns starting with the third contain-the phrases in various languages so as to be opposite to the corresponding code symbol in column 2. 65,

Having thus` described my invention what I claim as new is:

In a printed code, a series of columns, one oi" saidy columns containing numerals successively arranged, another of said eolumns containing the twenty tive letters ot the alphabet arranged in their usual sequence so as to form one group, a second group formed by combining eac-h letter of the lirst group with all the letters oi the to same group, the third group being formed by combining the second group with the first group and the remaining columns containing phrases in various languages corresponding or represented by the letters in column two.

In testimony whereof I atlix my signature in presence oi two witnesses.
